    The 5th member was only just appointed earlier this month. So, they only just now have a majority. At least, that’s my understanding.

      Confirmed by the Senate. Republicans have been holding up the confirmation for quite some time. Biden nominated Anna Gomez in March of this year (link) and she was only confirmed by the Senate in early September.

        Republicans actively working against the interests of the American people. Typical.

          Isn’t it also an indication that the current government is unwilling to compromise? It’s not like the government not controlling the house is a new issue, but the lack of progress as a result of it seems to indicate that neither side is willing to make progress towards a shared middle ground.

            Forgive me but, it honestly feels like you haven’t been paying enough attention to US politics if that’s how you feel

              That’s literally the role of the government, though.

              US politics is basically neither side compromising on the basis of ideology and saying it’s the other side’s fault.

              That’s a far more condemnable position when you’re the actual government than when you’re the opposition.

            Seems like they’re more interested in targeting LGBTQ people at the moment. They think about them a lot. A disturbing amount. Does that mean they’re … I mean, do they fantasize… nah can’t be

        Thanks. The latest delays seem to be intentional from the republicans. But march 2023 seems like far too long since January 2021. Does anyone know what happened in 2021 and 2022? I would not be surprised if it’s because of republicans again but I don’t know.

          Anna Gomez is the second nominee. The first nominee got tired of waiting for confirmation.

        Not to mention the previous candidate, Gigi Sohn, rescinded their request after their delays
